Victorian Lorgnette Slide Chain

REF # CE117C2

Antique Victorian Gold Lorgnette Slide Chain

This Antique Victorian gold lorgnette chain and slide weighs 28.2g and measures 31" long, 4mm wide and 1mm deep. During the Victorian era, fashionable ladies wore very long chains incorporated into their dress, often looped around and chained to a lorgnette or ladie's pocket watch. This 14k yellow gold chain was perhaps once used to suspend such a lorgnette or pocket watch and is accentuated with another common feature of Victorian dress, a slide. This elegant chased slide is radiantly centered with an invisibly-set rose-cut diamond encased within a gold star, inset within black enamel, bordered by torsade spun gold and a botanical motif on the other side. This original 1880's Victorian necklace is a fine example of highly collectible antique jewelry...More
